Resource (.resx) files in Custom Content Type

These are the steps we need to follow

Suppose this the custom content type

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
<Elements Id=”555705e7-e69f-4670-a972-c7bab158f935″ xmlns=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/”>
<ContentType ID=”0x010100923d6eee64764f08baa6903fb9095a6c”
Name=”GContentType”
Group=”Development”
Description=”Developing Content Type”
Version=”0″>
<FieldRefs>
<FieldRef ID=”{38ae2eb9-fca6-448b-9c8d-47abfeb7fbb5}” Name=”GContentTypeField” />
</FieldRefs>
</ContentType>
<Field ID=”{38ae2eb9-fca6-448b-9c8d-47abfeb7fbb5}”
Type=”Text”
Name=”GContentTypeField”
DisplayName=”$Resources:GED,Mission”
StaticName=”GContentTypeField”
Hidden=”FALSE”
Required=”FALSE”
Sealed=”FALSE” />
</Elements>

Here GED would be the name of resource files and mission is the Key Name.

GED.resx file needs to be deployed to ..12\Resources directory.

And in the feature.xml set

DefaultResourceFile=”GED”
